Shower Tray Repair in Trafford Park
We travel to Trafford Park for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shower tray repair in Trafford Park, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Trafford Park
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Trafford Park?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Trafford Park. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Trafford Park. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
