Shower tray repair in Grove Green without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and movement when you stand on it, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grove Green. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Grove Green
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grove Green
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
