Shower tray repair in Stanton Gate, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a crack across the base.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Stanton Gate
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
