How we handle shower tray repair in Scawthorpe
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Scawthorpe
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
