We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Pettistree questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What we are called out for in Pettistree
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

- Scratches from cleaning or grit

- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Cracks running from the waste

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pettistree. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Pettistree, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Pettistree
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
