Shower Tray Repair in Swallow
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Swallow, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Shower tray repair in Swallow, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Whether it’s chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We make sure 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 entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Swallow. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
FAQs for Swallow
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
