Shower tray repair in Danehill, done in place
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 tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- Damage from a refit or building work

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Danehill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
