Shower tray repair at your home in Cargreen

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What else we do in Cargreen
Common problems we fix in Cargreen
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What affects the price in Cargreen
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cargreen. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Cargreen questions
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Cargreen?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cargreen. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Cargreen

- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairing versus replacing in Cargreen
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
