Shower tray repair in Carmel, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Carmel
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you come to Carmel?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Carmel. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Repair or replace in Carmel?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Carmel
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Carmel
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
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.
