Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Atterby, Lincolnshire
Our technicians come to Atterby for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
About our shower tray repair in Atterby
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and scuffs and light scratches.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Atterby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Questions from Atterby
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you cover Atterby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Atterby and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Atterby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
