DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
Do you need shower tray repair in Charlton Down?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Charlton Down questions
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
