Shower tray repair in Irlam without replacing anything
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’re often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Irlam questions
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your M44 postcode.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you work in Irlam?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Irlam for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Irlam use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we’re called out for in Irlam
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
