Shower tray repair at your home in Ossington
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, across cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

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 work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ossington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ossington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Ossington
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
