How we handle shower tray repair in Blaby
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and a damaged area around the waste, in enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Blaby

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Blaby: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
