Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Carmichael
Do you cover Carmichael?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Carmichael from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carmichael
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Carmichael, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
