Shower tray repair in Quarrington Hill, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can generally put it right, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Other services in Quarrington Hill
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Quarrington Hill. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Common questions in Quarrington Hill
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
