Shower Tray Repair in Shader
Shower tray repair in and around Shader: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Shower tray repair in Shader without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges, in ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Shader
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes

Shader questions
How much does shower tray repair cost in Shader?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HS2 postcode.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
