About our shower tray repair in Diggle
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What else we do in Diggle
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

If you’re in Diggle and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
