How we handle shower tray repair in Brook Street
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Brook Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
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.
Common questions in Brook Street
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Brook Street and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
