Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Craghead. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 price, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it

Common problems we fix in Craghead
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
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 fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
