Shower tray repair in Town End without replacing anything
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 work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Town End
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What else we do in Town End
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
