Shower tray repair in Ilsington without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and a crack across the base.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ilsington
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT2 postcode.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need shower tray repair in Ilsington?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in Ilsington contact us are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
