Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Shower tray repair in Tonge Corner, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When to call us in Tonge Corner
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What affects the price in Tonge Corner
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
