Shower tray repair in Carlton without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with chips on the edges and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What we are called out for in Carlton
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Carlton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Carlton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
