Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Materials we work on in Swaythling
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Swaythling
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
