Your questions about shower tray repair in Chapel Row
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
About our shower tray repair in Chapel Row
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and a cracked shower tray, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. 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 are filled and matched to the surface.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
