What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Earls Barton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Common questions in Earls Barton
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What affects the price in Earls Barton
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Earls Barton. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
