Shower tray repair in Steeple View, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
