Shower tray repair at your home in Lower Horncroft
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a cracked shower tray, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Horncroft. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
