Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Shower tray repair at your home in Craig's End
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and a tray that flexes.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Craig's End
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Craig's End?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Craig's End?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
