Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Shower tray repair in Sewards End, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What else we do in Sewards End
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sewards End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Sewards End
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When to call us in Sewards End
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
