How we handle shower tray repair in Croughton
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’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and a crack across the base, we can help, whatever the material.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. 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. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months

- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
