About our shower tray repair in Ratcliff
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ratcliff
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ratcliff. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ratcliff
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
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.
