Shower tray repair in Escomb, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Escomb. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Escomb, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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 generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace in Escomb?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
