How we handle shower tray repair in Flanshaw
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What else we do in Flanshaw
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace in Flanshaw?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common questions in Flanshaw
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
