Shower Tray Repair in Onehouse
Our repair technicians come to Onehouse for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Shower tray repair in Onehouse, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

When to call us in Onehouse
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- 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 generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Onehouse: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
