Shower tray repair in Pakenham, 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’re often asked to fix a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Pakenham. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pakenham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
