Shower tray repair in Royton without replacing anything
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. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Royton. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Royton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Royton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Repair or replace in Royton?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Royton questions
Will it make a mess?

Is there a guarantee?

Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
