Shower tray repair in Ashby-de-la-Zouch without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches in the surface and a dull, stained or worn surface.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and across Leicestershire.

The process

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive

Advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Ashby-de-la-Zouch
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges

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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Ashby-de-la-Zouch
How long before I can shower?
Typically the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you come to Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ashby-de-la-Zouch and the rest of Leicestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
