How we handle shower tray repair in Shellbrook
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches, in stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
