About our shower tray repair in Shelley
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches in the surface and a crack across the base.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Questions from Shelley
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Shelley?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HD8 postcode.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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 gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Shelley
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HD8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
