About our shower tray repair in Payden Street
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We are frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and staining and dullness across the tray, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should you replace it?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
