How we handle shower tray repair in Salford
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.
Repair or replace in Salford?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
