About our shower tray repair in Houghton
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common problems we fix in Houghton
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
