What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Dunston questions
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
