What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare

- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Althorpe
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Althorpe.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the price in Althorpe
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Althorpe. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DN17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
