When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Stone resin

- Enamelled steel
Shower tray repair in Crosby without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Liverpool.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Crosby
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What affects the price in Crosby
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crosby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Crosby
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better.
