What affects the price in Old Trafford
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs

Old Trafford questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What we are called out for in Old Trafford
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What else we do in Old Trafford
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
