Shower tray repair in Mere Side, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Mere Side
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your L40 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Mere Side
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
