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.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How we handle shower tray repair in Crockenhill
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Crockenhill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Crockenhill
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are there extra charges for Crockenhill?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Crockenhill. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Crockenhill, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we’re called out for in Crockenhill
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for these signs:
- A cracked shower tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
