Repairing versus replacing in Appleby Parva
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We leave the room as we found it
- Typically one visit, start to finish

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Appleby Parva
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Appleby Parva

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
