How we handle shower tray repair in Carlton
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chips caused during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Carlton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Questions from Carlton
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Carlton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- A cracked shower tray
Before booking anyone

- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
