Shower tray repair in Howlish, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally 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.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
