Shower tray repair in Quaking Houses without replacing anything
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Quaking Houses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Quaking Houses as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Quaking Houses questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
