The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re 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.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry

How we handle shower tray repair in Cranoe
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches, in ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
FAQs for Cranoe
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cranoe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
