Shower tray repair in Wingates, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Wingates
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wingates. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Wingates questions
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the next day. We will 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.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you cover the entire of Bolton?
All of Bolton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
