About our shower tray repair in Canton
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Canton
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Canton.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Repair or replace in Canton?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Canton. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Canton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
