Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Speke, Liverpool

- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our shower tray repair in Speke
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Speke
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin

Common questions in Speke
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Speke?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Repair or replace in Speke?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we are called out for in Speke
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
