What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes 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.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Walwen. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Walwen get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Do you need shower tray repair in Walwen?
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Look out for these signs:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What prep work is covered
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Walwen
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
