How we handle shower tray repair in Matshead
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common problems we fix in Matshead
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Matshead use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Matshead
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- 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.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
