Shower tray repair in Castle Donington without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Castle Donington questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Repairing versus replacing in Castle Donington
The tray is generally 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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Castle Donington
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
