Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Repairing versus replacing in Crofthandy
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Crofthandy
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
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’ll say so.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Crofthandy and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Stone resin

When to call us in Crofthandy
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. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Crofthandy, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
