Advice
How we handle shower tray repair in The Folly
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We’re frequently asked to fix chipped corners or rims and cracks running from the waste, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including The Folly. The price reflects:

- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of

Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

Common questions in The Folly
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When to call us in The Folly
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
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, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
