How we handle shower tray repair in New Ridley
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
FAQs for New Ridley
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in New Ridley?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Common problems we fix in New Ridley
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
- A cracked shower tray

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Ridley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step
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 normally takes 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 check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
