Shower tray repair in Knotting without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Knotting
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Other services in Knotting
Landlords, agents and businesses in Knotting
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take 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.
- Next we clean and prepare the 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 usually usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your MK44 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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 is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
