Shower tray repair at your home in Potash
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Potash
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you come to Potash?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Potash from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
If you are in Potash and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
What else we do in Potash
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we’re called out for in Potash
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
What to look for in a quote

- How the colour is matched

Repairing versus replacing in Potash
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
