Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Shower tray repair in Hindsford, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hindsford as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bolton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hindsford: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
