Shower tray repair in Donington on Bain, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Donington on Bain, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
