What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Springfield
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can pets and children be at home?
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.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Springfield. The price reflects:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Springfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
