Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Shower tray repair at your home in St Brides Major
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and a crack across the base, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

St Brides Major questions
Can tenants book a repair?

What does shower tray repair cost?

Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Signs you need shower tray repair in St Brides Major
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A crack across the base
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips caused during fitting

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
