Shower tray repair in Runwell, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not 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. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and staining and dullness across the tray, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Runwell questions
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
When to call us in Runwell
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Runwell
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Runwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
