How we handle shower tray repair in Tilty
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and scuffs and light scratches, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
