Questions from Compton
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Compton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about staining and dullness across the tray and a damaged area around the waste.

Other services in Compton
Landlord and trade work in Compton
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Do you need shower tray repair in Compton?
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Materials we work on in Compton
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Compton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
