Shower tray repair at your home in Daventry
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and cracks running from the waste, in stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Daventry
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not 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 reply with a fixed price.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about shower tray repair in Daventry
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do you work in Daventry?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Daventry for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
More services for Daventry
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Daventry use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. 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.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
When to call us in Daventry
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, generally along the edges or by the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
