Shower tray repair in Greenhill without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
When to call us in Greenhill
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Greenhill?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
