Shower tray repair in Rooks Nest, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, across cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Rooks Nest
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Rooks Nest
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
