Shower tray repair in Cromdale, done in place
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cromdale. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Questions from Cromdale
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Cromdale is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you need shower tray repair in Cromdale?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
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 the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
