Shower Tray Repair in Strines
We travel to Strines for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Shower tray repair in Strines, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Strines
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What we are called out for in Strines
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for these signs:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Strines. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Strines, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlord and trade work in Strines
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Stockport and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What else we do in Strines
Why repair rather than replace?
