Shower tray repair at your home in Atherington
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. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and staining and dullness across the tray, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common problems we fix in Atherington
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
Repair or replace in Atherington?

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Atherington: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
