Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

About our shower tray repair in Prescot
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches in the surface, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Prescot
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips on the edges
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Prescot
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you work in Prescot?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Prescot and the rest of St Helens. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are there extra charges for Prescot?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Prescot and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
