About our shower tray repair in Windmill Hill
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. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Halton.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Windmill Hill
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What affects the price in Windmill Hill
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we are called out for in Windmill Hill
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches

- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Windmill Hill
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
