Shower tray repair in Platt Bridge, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

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. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WN2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Platt Bridge
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Platt Bridge
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you come to Platt Bridge?
We do. We send a technician to Platt Bridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not 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.
