Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Owston, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Owston
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Owston?

Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Repair or replace in Owston?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One price list for the whole UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When to call us in Owston
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Common reasons people in Owston contact us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole 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 entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
