Signs you need shower tray repair in Biggleswade
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
