Shower Tray Repair for Old Swan homes
Damaged shower tray in Old Swan? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle shower tray repair in Old Swan
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your L13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

FAQs for Old Swan
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Old Swan?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your L13 postcode.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
