Your questions about shower tray repair in Salford
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairs by material
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 trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
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 or gets worse.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
