About our shower tray repair in Chapels
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. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Chapels and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Materials we work on in Chapels
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
