About our shower tray repair in Akebar
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Akebar
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Akebar?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
For a price in Akebar, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Akebar. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
