Shower tray repair in Rusholme without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin

- Enamelled steel

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rusholme, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for 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 generally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Common questions in Rusholme
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Greater Manchester, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Rusholme
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
