Shower tray repair in Elmton without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Elmton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Elmton: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Elmton and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
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 price the job the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Elmton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we’re called out for in Elmton
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
