Shower tray repair in Mossley, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Mossley questions
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
