Shower tray repair at your home in Potters Brook

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Potters Brook as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Potters Brook

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Potters Brook questions

Do you cover Potters Brook?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Potters Brook. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
