When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cheveley
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Cheveley?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cheveley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire shower tray
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Cheveley
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
