Shower tray repair in Carrick Knowe, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What else we do in Carrick Knowe
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Carrick Knowe
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
