How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Shower tray repair in East Lydeard, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and chips or cracks by the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in East Lydeard and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Do you need shower tray repair in East Lydeard?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for these signs:
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
