Shower tray repair in Howes without replacing anything
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.

- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
