Shower Tray Repair in Alfington
Damaged shower tray in Alfington? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle shower tray repair in Alfington
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and chips on the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Do you need shower tray repair in Alfington?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Alfington: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you work in Alfington?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Alfington. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
