Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
About our shower tray repair in Carno
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about shower tray repair in Carno
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Do I have to be there?

How much does shower tray repair cost in Carno?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Carno
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
