About our shower tray repair in Braiseworth
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back

- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures 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.

Braiseworth questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
