How we handle shower tray repair in Catherington
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and chips or cracks by the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we’re called out for in Catherington
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Catherington
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Common questions in Catherington
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
