Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Common problems we fix in Aythorpe Roding
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Common reasons people in Aythorpe Roding contact us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
