Shower tray repair in Wigan, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface, in cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Wigan and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Wigan: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Wigan?
We do. Technicians travel to Wigan from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

About Wigan
Wigan is about 15 miles north-east of Liverpool, in Wigan. Our repair technicians come to homes and businesses in Wigan and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Our technicians cover all 63 towns and villages in Wigan, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Liverpool, about 15 miles away.
Our visits in WN3, WN1, WN5 and WN6 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Local streets include Hamilton Square, Market Street and Rowbottom Square, all of which we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Wigan
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
For a price in Wigan, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Wigan
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A cracked shower tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
