Shower tray repair at your home in Grimesthorpe
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and staining and dullness across the tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Grimesthorpe questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover Grimesthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Grimesthorpe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Grimesthorpe
Signs you need shower tray repair in Grimesthorpe
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grimesthorpe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
