About our shower tray repair in Unsworth
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
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. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we’re called out for in Unsworth
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
