Shower Tray Repair for Ribchester homes
Our technicians come to Ribchester for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our shower tray repair in Ribchester
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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 will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Questions from Ribchester
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you cover Ribchester?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ribchester. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel

What else we do in Ribchester
Common problems we fix in Ribchester
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
