About our shower tray repair in Elsdon
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- 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.
Elsdon questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Elsdon

- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

- A crack across the base

Landlord and trade work in Elsdon
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
