How we handle shower tray repair in Middleton Cheney
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and chips caused during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
