Shower tray repair in Raby without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about scratches in the surface and chips on the edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Raby
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Wirral. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Raby?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Raby.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Raby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Raby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Raby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
