About our shower tray repair in Elmesthorpe
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Elmesthorpe
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Ask for a price

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
