How we handle shower tray repair in St Lawrence
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repair or replace in St Lawrence?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for St Lawrence. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
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 we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What we are called out for in St Lawrence
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
