Shower tray repair in Old Tupton, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What we’re called out for in Old Tupton
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Old Tupton
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Old Tupton. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Old Tupton?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour-matched on site
- No extra charge for your area

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
