Shower tray repair in Ludworth without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Ludworth: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Stockport.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ludworth?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
