About our shower tray repair in Foundry Town
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles, across acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Foundry Town, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Should you replace it?
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. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
