Shower tray repair in Middleton, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and a crack across the base.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Middleton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
FAQs for Middleton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Middleton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
