Your questions about shower tray repair in Carter's Clay
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?

Shower tray repair in Carter's Clay without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, across stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carter's Clay
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
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.
