About our shower tray repair in Purleigh
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common questions in Purleigh
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Purleigh?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CM3 postcode.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When to call us in Purleigh
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Purleigh. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colour-matched on site
See our prices page.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Most clients in Purleigh get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
