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.
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.
Shower tray repair in Plains Farm, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Plains Farm
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Plains Farm
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Plains Farm?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Common problems we fix in Plains Farm
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
