Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Drayton: your questions answered
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

- Edge chips from dropped bottles

What else we do in Drayton
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Drayton
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
