Shower tray repair in Haughton, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Common problems we fix in Haughton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting

What affects the price in Haughton
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
