Shower tray repair in Hermitage Green without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Warrington.

When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Common questions in Hermitage Green
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What affects the price in Hermitage Green
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WA2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Hermitage Green
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
