About our shower tray repair in Allestree
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Allestree
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are there extra charges for Allestree?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Allestree. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 will not last.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
