Signs you need shower tray repair in Slack Head
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin

- Cast iron
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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 the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
