How we handle shower tray repair in Twyford
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Twyford
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What we’re called out for in Twyford
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Twyford
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
