About our shower tray repair in Hale
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Trafford.

What we’re called out for in Hale
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hale use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hale from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
