About our shower tray repair in Small Banks
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Small Banks
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Common problems we fix in Small Banks
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for any of the following:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Small Banks, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Small Banks
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
