About our shower tray repair in Allaston
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Allaston: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
