- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Shower tray repair in Garston without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and a damaged area around the waste, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Other services in Garston
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in Garston
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage from a refit or building work
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Garston
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the entire of Liverpool?
Across the UK, so Garston is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Garston?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

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 will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
