About our shower tray repair in Dowsby
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re often asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Dowsby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Dowsby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
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.
Dowsby questions
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
