Shower tray repair at your home in Vastern
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips or cracks by the plughole, in ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Questions from Vastern
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Vastern?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Vastern

The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Vastern. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
