Shower Tray Repair for Walgrave homes
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Walgrave. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
About our shower tray repair in Walgrave
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for a tray that flexes and chips on the edges, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Walgrave: your questions answered
Do you cover Walgrave?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Walgrave for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walgrave
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walgrave as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Walgrave, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Walgrave
A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One price list for the entire UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our pricing.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
