Shower tray repair in Glasbury, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Glasbury
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic

When to call us in Glasbury
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace in Glasbury?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
