Your questions about shower tray repair in Leigh
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Leigh?
We do. We send a technician to Leigh for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How we handle shower tray repair in Leigh
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Leigh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Leigh, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in Leigh
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Leigh?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we’re called out for in Leigh
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
