What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How we handle shower tray repair in Chitty
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base, across stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Chitty
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you cover Chitty?
We do. We send a technician to Chitty for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Common problems we fix in Chitty
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chitty use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
