Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
About our shower tray repair in Scouthead
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scouthead and across Oldham.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Scouthead
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Landlord and trade work in Scouthead
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scouthead use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Scouthead: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work in Scouthead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Scouthead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Scouthead, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
