Our shower tray repair service in Leicester
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and chips caused during fitting.
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Leicester get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the damage happens
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit.
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Leicester: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Leicester included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
