Shower tray repair in Ampthill, done in place
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. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Ampthill
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
