Shower tray repair in Oldcastle Heath, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repairing versus replacing in Oldcastle Heath
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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
