Shower tray repair at your home in Shawclough
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 will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places

When to call us in Shawclough
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Also in Shawclough
Shawclough: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
