How we handle shower tray repair in Richards Castle
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Your questions about shower tray repair in Richards Castle
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the next day.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
