Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle shower tray repair in Ayston
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rutland.

Do you work in Ayston?

How much does shower tray repair cost in Ayston?

Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens on the day
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 the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ayston
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ayston. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Ayston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
