Shower tray repair in Alvecote, 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. If you are dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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.
Common questions in Alvecote
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.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
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.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Alvecote. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
