How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, 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.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cartledge. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Questions from Cartledge
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
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 landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
