- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Questions from Litherland
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you need shower tray repair in Litherland?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, 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
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Litherland?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
