Shower tray repair in Grimscote, done in place
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 tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Grimscote
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Grimscote. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Grimscote get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Common questions in Grimscote
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Grimscote?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Grimscote. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
