Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Onston, Cheshire West and Chester
Shower tray repair in Onston without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- 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 can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Shower tray repair in Onston, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Onston
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Look out for any of the following:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price

Common questions in Onston
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
