About our shower tray repair in Trethowel
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and a crack across the base, across stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Trethowel
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Trethowel. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
