Shower tray repair at your home in Clayton
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Clayton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Questions from Clayton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
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.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you come to Clayton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Clayton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Clayton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- 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.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BD14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace in Clayton?

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.
