About our shower tray repair in Workhouse End
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?

- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Workhouse End questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?

Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
