Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Moston, Cheshire West and Chester
We travel to Moston for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Shower tray repair in Moston without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and a crack across the base, in enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Moston. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
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
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Moston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Moston
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface

Moston: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Are there extra charges for Moston?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.
Do you cover the whole of Cheshire West and Chester?
Across the UK, and that includes Moston. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
