Shower tray repair at your home in Bedford Borough
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, in cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Prices in Bedford Borough
Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
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.
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Signs you need shower tray repair
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that flexes
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base
Common questions in Bedford Borough
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Bedford Borough. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
