Shower tray repair in Austrey without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Common call-outs are for damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Austrey
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
FAQs for Austrey
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you come to Austrey?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Austrey and the rest of Warwickshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What affects the price in Austrey
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need shower tray repair in Austrey?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips on the edges
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- If travel is included in the price
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Austrey

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
