How we handle shower tray repair in Ancaster

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ancaster. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Ancaster get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ancaster as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

When to call us in Ancaster
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ancaster: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?

Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
