For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Shower tray repair in Craigends, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We are frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Craigends get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Craigends, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Craigends questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
