About our shower tray repair in Downfield
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and chips on the edges, across ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlord and trade work in Downfield
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Downfield questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repair or replace in Downfield?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
