- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface
- A cracked shower tray
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Shower tray repair in Breamfield, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we are called out for in Breamfield
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Common reasons people in Breamfield contact us are:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Breamfield
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Breamfield?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
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. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
