Shower Tray Repair for Swaithe homes
We travel to Swaithe for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
How we handle shower tray repair in Swaithe
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Swaithe
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Swaithe
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Swaithe. Prices don’t change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
