Advice
Shower tray repair in Carr Vale without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and movement when you stand on it, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carr Vale. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Carr Vale get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carr Vale. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
