Shower tray repair in Ardvasar without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We’re often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ardvasar
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Ardvasar?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
