How we handle shower tray repair in Stank
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and scuffs and light scratches, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stank and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Stank
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
