About our shower tray repair in Carleton
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carleton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Do you need shower tray repair in Carleton?
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.
Common reasons people in Carleton contact us include:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carleton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Carleton
Do you come to Carleton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Carleton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
