Shower tray repair at your home in Essington
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about a cracked shower tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What affects the price in Essington
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
The process
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 typically 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.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Common problems we fix in Essington
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked shower tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Questions from Essington
Do you cover Essington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Essington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
