Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Leckwith. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
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 you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
