What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Shower tray repair at your home in Irwell Vale
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips on the edges.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bury.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Irwell Vale as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
