Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Repair or replace in East Down?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in East Down
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in East Down.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Down
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in East Down
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
