Shower tray repair in Hylton Red House, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste, in stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Hylton Red House
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
