Shower tray repair in Budby, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges, across stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

Common questions in Budby
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Budby
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Budby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
