Shower tray repair in Downderry without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

- A tray that moves underfoot

FAQs for Downderry
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What affects the price in Downderry
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Downderry. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Downderry
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for 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.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
