Shower tray repair in Crosspool, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crosspool. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
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.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
When to call us in Crosspool
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Crosspool, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
