About our shower tray repair in Harcombe Bottom
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Do you need shower tray repair in Harcombe Bottom?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

FAQs for Harcombe Bottom
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DT7 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Harcombe Bottom. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harcombe Bottom
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
