How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Melling, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Repair or replace in Melling?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Questions from Melling
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you cover the whole of Sefton?
The entire UK, including all of Sefton. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Melling.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
