Shower tray repair in Raffles, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Raffles
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Raffles
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Raffles
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Raffles. Prices do not change with location.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
