Shower tray repair in West Pelton, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, in cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in West Pelton
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A dull, stained or worn surface

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

West Pelton: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so West Pelton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are there extra charges for West Pelton?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
