Shower tray repair in New Manchester, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for New Manchester
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
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 you cover New Manchester?
We do. Technicians travel to New Manchester from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around New Manchester, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

When a repair is not the answer

- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
