What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can

Common problems we fix in Elephant and Castle
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Why repair rather than replace?

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Elephant and Castle. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
