About our shower tray repair in Abthorpe
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. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Abthorpe: your questions answered
Do you cover Abthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Abthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Abthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What we are called out for in Abthorpe
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Look out for these signs:
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
