Shower tray repair in Sandy Cross without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need shower tray repair in Sandy Cross?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scuffs and light scratches

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sandy Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Sandy Cross get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What else we do in Sandy Cross
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
