Shower tray repair in Turfdown without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and chips caused during fitting, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Questions from Turfdown
Do you work in Turfdown?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Turfdown from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Common problems we fix in Turfdown
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Comparing quotes
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Turfdown
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Turfdown, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
