Shower tray repair at your home in Preston
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We’re frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and chips caused during fitting, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Preston customers choose us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

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 repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Brighton and Hove and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need shower tray repair in Preston?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges

Questions from Preston
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Preston?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Preston and the rest of Brighton and Hove. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Preston?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN1 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
