Shower tray repair at your home in The Grove
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The Grove questions
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.

Landlord and trade work in The Grove

When to call us in The Grove
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
