About our shower tray repair in Great Canfield
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips caused during fitting.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Canfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
When to call us in Great Canfield
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Common reasons people in Great Canfield contact us include:

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Great Canfield
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Great Canfield. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
