Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Denton
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Denton. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Denton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Denton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Common problems we fix in Denton
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Denton questions
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
