How we handle shower tray repair in Green Street
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles, across acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Common problems we fix in Green Street
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Repairs by material
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. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Green Street. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Green Street: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your WD6 postcode.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Green Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
