Shower tray repair in Wardley without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste, across stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Common questions in Wardley
What areas do you cover?
All of Salford, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

What affects the price in Wardley
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Wardley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Wardley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairing versus replacing in Wardley
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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.
