Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Shower tray repair in Silton, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Silton
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How we price shower tray repair

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
