Shower tray repair in Holwell, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and damage around the waste, across ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Common questions in Holwell
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Honest limits

- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Holwell, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
