- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlord and trade work in Starr Gate
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Starr Gate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Starr Gate: your questions answered
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Starr Gate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
