Shower tray repair in Branthwaite, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Branthwaite
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Common problems we fix in Branthwaite
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it

What affects the price in Branthwaite
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Branthwaite. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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.
