Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Repairing versus replacing in Wolstenholme
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Wolstenholme: your questions answered
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?
All of Rochdale, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wolstenholme. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
