FAQs for Pettinain
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Shower tray repair at your home in Pettinain
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Pettinain
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
When to call us in Pettinain
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
