Shower Tray Repair for Formby homes
Our technicians come to Formby for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
About our shower tray repair in Formby
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We are often asked to fix damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Formby
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are there extra charges for Formby?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What we’re called out for in Formby
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- 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.
Surfaces we repair

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire shower tray
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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
