What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Other services in Tottleworth
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Tottleworth
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
