Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Besthorpe, Nottinghamshire

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Shower tray repair in Besthorpe without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Besthorpe: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Besthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour-matched on site

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
