Shower tray repair in Windlehurst without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Windlehurst
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
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 come to Windlehurst?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Windlehurst. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Windlehurst. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
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
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WA10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

There is 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Windlehurst
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
