If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chipped corners or rims

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Chowdene questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
