Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Common questions in Cardeston
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Cardeston included. Travel is included in the price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common problems we fix in Cardeston
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Look out for any of the following:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Cardeston
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
