Shower tray repair in St Thomas, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need shower tray repair in St Thomas
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

St Thomas: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in St Thomas?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Thomas
For anyone letting property in or around St Thomas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
