Oldham: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you work in Oldham?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Oldham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
About our shower tray repair in Oldham
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oldham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Oldham
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Oldham
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Oldham get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- 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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
