Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

Materials we work on in Old Town
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Around Old Town, arranging several trades for a replacement can take a while. A repair needs just one visit.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Old Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
