Shower tray repair in Ecton, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start 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.
What you get with us
- Colour-matched on site

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

Advice
What we’re called out for in Ecton
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What affects the price in Ecton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
