How we handle shower tray repair in Drayton
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. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- 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 generally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Do you need shower tray repair in Drayton?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place

Questions from Drayton
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover the entire of Portsmouth?
Everywhere in the UK, Drayton included. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
