Shower tray repair in Dimple, done in place
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 scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BL7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bolton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 photos.
Common problems we fix in Dimple
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Questions from Dimple
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Dimple
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One price list for the whole UK
- Normally one visit, start to finish
See our prices page.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
