Shower tray repair in Owrtyn without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Owrtyn
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Owrtyn as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Owrtyn: your questions answered
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
