- Repairs from £95
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

About our shower tray repair in Walkley
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Do you need shower tray repair in Walkley?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions from Walkley
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Walkley included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
