How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What affects the price in Caxton
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.

- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Landlord and trade work in Caxton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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.
