How we handle shower tray repair in Kearsley
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

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 it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Kearsley questions
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BL4 postcode.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
