DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Simm's Lane End
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Simm's Lane End
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Are there extra charges for Simm's Lane End?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What we are called out for in Simm's Lane End
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
