FAQs for Smithies
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work in Smithies?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Smithies. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Smithies?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
About our shower tray repair in Smithies
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
When to call us in Smithies
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
