FAQs for Donisthorpe
How much does shower tray repair cost in Donisthorpe?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Donisthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Donisthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Donisthorpe. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we are called out for in Donisthorpe
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Donisthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No extra charge for your area

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Get a quote
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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
