DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Shower tray repair at your home in Mapperley
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage from a refit or building work, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Mapperley
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Questions from Mapperley
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Mapperley?

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
