Common problems we fix in Carr Houses
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Common questions in Carr Houses
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Carr Houses and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carr Houses. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
