Shower tray repair in Topcroft, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Topcroft
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Do you need shower tray repair in Topcroft?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Topcroft questions
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
