We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we handle shower tray repair in Winstanley
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are frequently asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste, across stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Take a look at our pricing.
What affects the price in Winstanley
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Winstanley. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WN3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Winstanley
Are there extra charges for Winstanley?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
