Shower tray repair in Mountcastle without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and cracks running from the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Mountcastle
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Mountcastle: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Mountcastle?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Mountcastle. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
