Shower tray repair in Earcroft, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit

- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Earcroft?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
