- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare

How we handle shower tray repair in Worthenbury
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and a crack across the base.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we are called out for in Worthenbury
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Worthenbury
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- Cast iron

Worthenbury: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
