Shower tray repair in Orrell, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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 and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 the same day in most cases.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Orrell
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you work in Orrell?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Orrell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When to call us in Orrell
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
For landlords and businesses
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
