Your questions about shower tray repair in Crofton
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover Crofton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Crofton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Crofton
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Crofton
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
