Shower tray repair at your home in Land Gate
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Land Gate questions
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
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?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Land Gate and the rest of Wigan. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
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 can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in Land Gate
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
For a price in Land Gate, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
