How we handle shower tray repair in Castle
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry

Castle questions
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

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.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

- Same prices wherever you are
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
