Shower tray repair in St Margarets without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right

- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from St Margarets
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What else we do in St Margarets
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repair or replace in St Margarets?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- The size and number of damaged areas

- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
