Shower tray repair in Shireshead, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we’re called out for in Shireshead
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Shireshead, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Shireshead, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shireshead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
