DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Shower tray repair in East Craigs, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims, in acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in East Craigs and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
What we’re called out for in East Craigs
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for East Craigs. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in East Craigs, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
