Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Shower tray repair in Carndu without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Carndu and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Landlord and trade work in Carndu
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carndu. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
