Shower tray repair in Preston without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and chipped corners or rims, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

Related advice
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 pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Most jobs done in one visit

Your questions about shower tray repair in Preston
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Preston?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Preston and the rest of East Lothian. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
