About our shower tray repair in Old Down
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 repair lasts. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Old Down
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Old Down, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Old Down
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
