- Repairs from £95

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Shower tray repair at your home in Middridge
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and damage around the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repair or replace in Middridge?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Middridge
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Middridge questions
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Middridge?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
