What we’re called out for in Babbington
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin

Common questions in Babbington
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
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 or gets worse.
Other services in Babbington
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
