About our shower tray repair in Oakenshaw
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scuffs and light scratches.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What we’re called out for in Oakenshaw
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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Oakenshaw: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakenshaw
If you manage property in Oakenshaw, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
