About our shower tray repair in Hale
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hale and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Hale
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Hale
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hale as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally 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.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
