Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Risley, Warrington
Problem with your shower tray in Risley? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Shower tray repair at your home in Risley
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We are frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repair or replace in Risley?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Risley
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Risley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Risley: your questions answered
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
Do you cover the whole of Warrington?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
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.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Risley and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Risley
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
- A cracked shower tray
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
