Shower tray repair at your home in Eydon
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Eydon. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
FAQs for Eydon
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Eydon included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Most customers in Eydon get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eydon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t 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.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
