About our shower tray repair in Knolls Green
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Knolls Green
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Knolls Green questions
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
Repair or replace in Knolls Green?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
