About our shower tray repair in Davyhulme
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common problems we fix in Davyhulme
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
- Cracks running from the waste
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price

- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Davyhulme: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Do you cover the whole of Trafford?
The entire UK, including all of Trafford. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
