Shower tray repair at your home in Preston
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray, across stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Preston
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Preston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Preston
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What we are called out for in Preston
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site

Preston questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Torbay.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Preston and the rest of Torbay. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
