Advice
Shower tray repair in Down Field, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Down Field
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
What we are called out for in Down Field
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Common reasons people in Down Field contact us are:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips on the edges

Questions from Down Field
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
