Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray

Our hiring checklist

Shower tray repair in Rake without replacing anything

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Rake, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Rake

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
