Shower tray repair at your home in The Village
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in The Village
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
