Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Stockport
Our technicians come to Stockport for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
About our shower tray repair in Stockport
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and chips caused during fitting.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Stockport and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
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.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Stockport
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are there extra charges for Stockport?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Landlord and trade work in Stockport
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- We leave the room as we found it

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
