Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shower tray repair in Carr Mill without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
On the day, 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, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

FAQs for Carr Mill
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Carr Mill?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
