Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Healey, Rochdale
We travel to Healey for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we handle shower tray repair in Healey
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Healey questions
Are there extra charges for Healey?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you come to Healey?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Healey from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Common problems we fix in Healey
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
