Shower tray repair at your home in Rushmere
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, across acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Most customers in Rushmere get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rushmere
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
