About our shower tray repair in Driby Top
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. Our technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and chipped corners or rims.
Homes around Driby Top frequently have showers added to older buildings, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common questions in Driby Top
Do you cover villages like Driby Top?
We do: Driby Top is covered like any town. Tell us if access is tricky.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Driby Top and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What we’re called out for in Driby Top
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Driby Top
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. In an older home in a village like Driby Top, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go. In a village or hamlet like Driby Top, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
