Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
About our shower tray repair in New Mill End
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for New Mill End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
