Shower tray repair at your home in Northville
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and a tray that flexes, across stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Northville
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Northville?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Northville from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Repairing versus replacing in Northville
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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
