What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Crockleford Heath: your questions answered
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Crockleford Heath included. Travel is included in the price.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crockleford Heath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole shower tray
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
