Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle shower tray repair in Watcombe
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and staining and dullness across the tray, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Watcombe
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Watcombe: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can I use the shower again?
Usually the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Watcombe. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas

- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
