Cracked Shower Tray? Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It
Common Causes of Cracked Shower Trays
A cracked shower tray is more than just an eyesor, it can cause serious water damage, mould, and costly repairs if ignored. At ShowerFix, we specialise in fast, professional shower tray replacements to protect your home and restore your bathroom, hassle-free.
Shower trays can crack for a variety of reasons, including:
Poor installation: If not supported correctly, trays can flex and eventually crack under pressure.
Wear and tear: Over time, even quality materials can weaken.
Heavy impact: Dropping a heavy object like a shampoo bottle or showerhead can cause surface cracks.
Substandard materials: Cheap acrylic trays are more likely to develop cracks over time.

Why You Should Never Ignore a Cracked Shower Tray

Floorboards or subflooring
Walls and adjacent rooms
Structural elements in your bathroom
This hidden water damage can cost thousands to fix and may not be covered by insurance if caused by neglect.
