Shower tray repair at your home in Delph
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and scuffs and light scratches, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Delph
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Delph. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
FAQs for Delph
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
