Shower tray repair in Halton-Lea-Gate, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and a cracked shower tray, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should you replace it?
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. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Landlord and trade work in Halton-Lea-Gate
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Halton-Lea-Gate. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron

What we’re called out for in Halton-Lea-Gate
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
