How we handle shower tray repair in Middlewood
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Middlewood: your questions answered
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 hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Middlewood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What else we do in Middlewood
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Middlewood, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 usually the cheaper route.
