Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
How we handle shower tray repair in New Houses
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need shower tray repair in New Houses
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in New Houses
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in New Houses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Houses use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
