Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, we can typically put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Willowbrae and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Willowbrae as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Willowbrae. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
