About our shower tray repair in Lansdown
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. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common problems we fix in Lansdown
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before booking anyone

- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
