Shower tray repair in Tadworth without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and chips caused during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we are called out for in Tadworth

People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Repairing versus replacing in Tadworth
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tadworth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Tadworth
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- 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.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Tadworth get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
