What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we are called out for in Cradlehall
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- A dull, stained or worn surface

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

FAQs for Cradlehall
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you cover Cradlehall?
We do. We send a technician to Cradlehall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cradlehall. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
