How we handle shower tray repair in Panfield
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Panfield: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Panfield.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Panfield
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
