Shower tray repair at your home in Sockbridge
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Sockbridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in Sockbridge and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
