Shower tray repair at your home in Hollins
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. We are frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray, across ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us

What we’re called out for in Hollins
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
FAQs for Hollins
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oldham.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you cover the whole of Oldham?
We cover the entire UK, including Hollins and the rest of Oldham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Oldham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
