How we handle shower tray repair in Canwick
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Common questions in Canwick
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Canwick?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, 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 from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
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 typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Canwick
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
