Shower tray repair at your home in Butt's Green
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Butt's Green
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Butt's Green
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common questions in Butt's Green
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
When to call us in Butt's Green
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scuffs and light scratches

Repairing versus replacing in Butt's Green
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
