About our shower tray repair in Preston
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, across enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before booking

Preston questions
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Preston?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Preston
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
