What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

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 give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Davidson's Mains

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
