About our shower tray repair in Eccles
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and scuffs and light scratches, in acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Eccles
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel

Questions from Eccles
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you cover Eccles?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Eccles for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eccles as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Eccles, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Eccles
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
