Shower tray repair in Rough Knarr, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re often asked to fix a crack across the base and a tray that flexes, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Landlord and trade work in Rough Knarr
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Rough Knarr, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
