Shower tray repair in Garstang, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and damage around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What we’re called out for in Garstang
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips on the edges
- Damage around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How quickly can you book me in?

Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
