Shower tray repair in Old Moat, 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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Old Moat
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
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.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
When to call us in Old Moat
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

More services for Old Moat
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Old Moat
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the entire of Greater Manchester?
The whole UK, including all of Greater Manchester. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
