Shower tray repair at your home in Swanmore
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a tray that flexes and chips on the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
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 will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
