Shower tray repair in Thorpe Satchville, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 typically cheaper.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
