About our shower tray repair in Runcorn
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit, in acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
There is 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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Runcorn
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Runcorn
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What affects the price in Runcorn
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Runcorn. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
