Shower tray repair in Carbrook without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carbrook as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Carbrook
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- How to care for the finish
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlord and trade work in Carbrook
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Repairing versus replacing in Carbrook
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

FAQs for Carbrook
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Sheffield, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them

- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
