About our shower tray repair in Castle
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Castle and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Do you need shower tray repair in Castle?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Castle, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Common questions in Castle
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Also in Castle
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Castle. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
