Shower tray repair at your home in Huyton with Roby
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Huyton with Roby. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
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 quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Huyton with Roby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Huyton with Roby: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
