Shower tray repair in Poets Estate without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s chipped corners or rims and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Poets Estate
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Poets Estate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you need shower tray repair in Poets Estate?
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.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
- Cracks running from the waste
Comparing quotes
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place

What affects the price in Poets Estate
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
