Shower tray repair at your home in Chittening
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We are often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Chittening: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Chittening
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
