How we handle shower tray repair in Star
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and damage around the waste, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common questions in Star
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do you cover the entire of Fife?
Everywhere in the UK, Star included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Landlord and trade work in Star
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When to call us in Star
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, generally along the edges or by the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- A dull, stained or worn surface

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would 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, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
