Shower tray repair in Charing Cross, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and a crack across the base.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What else we do in Charing Cross
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Charing Cross questions
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Charing Cross?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your W1F postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What affects the price in Charing Cross
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
