Signs you need shower tray repair in Anthorn
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Questions from Anthorn
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Anthorn?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally 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.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:

- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

- Acrylic

- Ceramic
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
