How we handle shower tray repair in Poundon
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes, in enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Poundon and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Poundon
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Poundon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Poundon
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When to call us in Poundon
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

Questions from Poundon
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
