Shower tray repair at your home in Cross
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Cross
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Look out for these signs:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Cross
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Cross
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Cross
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Cross
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area
