What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Common problems we fix in Farnworth
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before you book anyone

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Common questions in Farnworth
Do you come to Farnworth?
We do. Technicians travel to Farnworth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Farnworth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
