What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Church End use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
