Shower tray repair in Ruddington without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Ruddington questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Ruddington?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ruddington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repair or replace in Ruddington?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
