Shower tray repair in Finney Green, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting, across stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

FAQs for Finney Green
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are there extra charges for Finney Green?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Finney Green?
We do. Technicians travel to Finney Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
