Repair or replace in Shipmeadow?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we handle shower tray repair in Shipmeadow
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and a cracked shower tray, across cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
