Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
When to call us in Pool Quay
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Look out for any of the following:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Questions from Pool Quay
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What affects the price in Pool Quay
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Pool Quay?
The tray is normally 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
