Shower tray repair at your home in St Mary's
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and chips on the edges, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in St Mary's
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KW17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Mary's
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in St Mary's, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Common questions in St Mary's
Do you work in St Mary's?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to St Mary's from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in St Mary's?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for St Mary's. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
