Shower tray repair in Allexton, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Allexton: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Landlord and trade work in Allexton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Common problems we fix in Allexton

- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
