Shower Tray Repair for Claypits homes
Damaged shower tray in Claypits? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Shower tray repair in Claypits without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and a crack across the base, across enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Claypits. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Claypits use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Claypits, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Claypits
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
