How we handle shower tray repair in Preston
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.

Advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Preston
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
