Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How we handle shower tray repair in Carrington
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Carrington
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover Carrington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Carrington. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition 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.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Carrington
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Common reasons people in Carrington contact us are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
