Shower tray repair in Engine Common, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray, we can typically put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Engine Common
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
