Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in New Boston, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in New Boston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in St Helens and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Common problems we fix in New Boston
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in New Boston contact us are:
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
