Shower tray repair in Crumlin without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Questions from Crumlin
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. 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.
