Shower tray repair in Cross Green without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and damage around the waste, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Cross Green: your questions answered
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What else we do in Cross Green
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Common problems we fix in Cross Green
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
