Shower tray repair in Alwalton, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
When to call us in Alwalton
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
FAQs for Alwalton
Do you cover Alwalton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Alwalton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Landlord and trade work in Alwalton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. 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, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
