How we handle shower tray repair in Averham
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. We work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and scratches in the surface.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Averham
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you cover the entire of Nottinghamshire?
The whole UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Averham. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
We don’t 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.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Averham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
