What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we handle shower tray repair in Covington
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Covington. The price comes down to:

- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

More services for Covington
Covington: your questions answered
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Covington included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
