What else we do in Boroughby
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Usually one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Boroughby, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common problems we fix in Boroughby
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
Landlord and trade work in Boroughby
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Boroughby questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Boroughby?
We do. We send a technician to Boroughby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
