Shower tray repair at your home in The Folly
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in The Folly
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
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 typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When to call us in The Folly
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
Before booking anyone

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What information do you need?

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
