About our shower tray repair in Drakewalls
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin

Repairing versus replacing in Drakewalls
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For anyone letting property in or around Drakewalls, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
