About our shower tray repair in Howe Street
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Howe Street
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Howe Street
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Howe Street?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Howe Street?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Howe Street for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Common problems we fix in Howe Street
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
Repairing versus replacing in Howe Street
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
