Shower Tray Repair for Cane End homes
Local shower tray repair for Cane End: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
When to call us in Cane End
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
Shower tray repair in Cane End without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked shower tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Cane End: your questions answered
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
For anyone letting property in or around Cane End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace in Cane End?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Cane End
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cane End. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cane End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
