Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Snods Edge
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Do you need shower tray repair in Snods Edge?

- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
