Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Crackenthorpe
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes

Crackenthorpe: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Crackenthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
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 the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
