Shower tray repair in Howes, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Howes
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
