Shower tray repair in Uppend, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and staining and dullness across the tray, across enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Other services in Uppend
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What affects the price in Uppend
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
