Your questions about shower tray repair in Akeld
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What we are called out for in Akeld
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A cracked shower tray
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Akeld
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Akeld. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
