Shower tray repair in Castle Gresley without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and scuffs and light scratches, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Castle Gresley
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Castle Gresley
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
