How we handle shower tray repair in Castledykes
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the waste and cracks running from the waste.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole shower tray
We price from photos so you do not 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What we’re called out for in Castledykes
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Comparing quotes
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
