Shower Tray Repair in Branch End
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing at your home in Branch End, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
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.
Shower tray repair in Branch End, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Branch End
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.
Branch End questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Branch End?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common problems we fix in Branch End
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
