DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilmorton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Gilmorton
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
