Elmfield: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
