Shower tray repair at your home in Elstow
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and a cracked shower tray, in acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elstow use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Elstow. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Elstow: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
