What information do you need?

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How we handle shower tray repair in Marshside
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and edge chips from dropped bottles, across enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Marshside. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Typically one visit, start to finish
