Shower tray repair at your home in Foxearth
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. 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.
What happens on the day
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 for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Foxearth
Are there extra charges for Foxearth?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you cover Foxearth?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Foxearth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
