How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Shower tray repair in Rainford Junction without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Rainford Junction
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you need shower tray repair in Rainford Junction?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
- Aftercare advice
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
