Shower tray repair in Cradlewell without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cradlewell
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cradlewell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
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 to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Cradlewell?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What else we do in Cradlewell
Cradlewell questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Cradlewell?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What affects the price in Cradlewell
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole shower tray
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
