You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes

Shower tray repair in Scraptoft, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chipped corners or rims and staining and dullness across the tray.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scraptoft as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Scraptoft
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Scraptoft included. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
