How we handle shower tray repair in Borley
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. 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 it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Borley
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Borley: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Repair or replace in Borley?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
