Shower tray repair at your home in Spelter
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Spelter
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Spelter
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
