Shower tray repair in Old Brampton, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste, we can typically put it right, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Questions from Old Brampton
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Old Brampton?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Old Brampton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Old Brampton
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repairing versus replacing in Old Brampton
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
