About our shower tray repair in Tarporley
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and a damaged area around the waste, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Tarporley
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Do you need shower tray repair in Tarporley?
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- A cracked shower tray

What affects the price in Tarporley
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
If you’re in Tarporley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repairing versus replacing in Tarporley
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
