About our shower tray repair in Arkesden
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and scratches in the surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
We price from photos 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 you will get a fixed figure back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, 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.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site

Do you need shower tray repair in Arkesden?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Landlord and trade work in Arkesden
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
