How we handle shower tray repair in Stannington
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 is the case. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
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.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
