About our shower tray repair in Marsh Lane
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and scratches in the surface.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 typically cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Marsh Lane: your questions answered
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When to call us in Marsh Lane
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface

- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
