Shower tray repair at your home in East Knighton
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix a cracked shower tray and scratches from cleaning or grit, in ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Knighton. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in East Knighton
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- We leave the room as we found it
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site
See our pricing.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
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.

FAQs for East Knighton
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
