Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

FAQs for Compstall

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
