Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
About our shower tray repair in Farnworth

We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a damaged area around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Farnworth

- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include

Farnworth questions
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your WA8 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Farnworth?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Farnworth. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
