What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Shower tray repair at your home in Sandling
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and a cracked shower tray.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Sandling
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sandling
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
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.
What we are called out for in Sandling
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Common reasons people in Sandling contact us include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
