About our shower tray repair in Chapel Row
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with chips on the edges and a damaged area around the waste, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What else we do in Chapel Row
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
What we are called out for in Chapel Row
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
- Scuffs and light scratches
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chapel Row
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Chapel Row, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Chapel Row: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
