Shower Tray Repair in Kirkby Mallory
Problem with your shower tray in Kirkby Mallory? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
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.
How we handle shower tray repair in Kirkby Mallory
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

What we’re called out for in Kirkby Mallory
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Kirkby Mallory
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 normally cheaper.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What affects the price in Kirkby Mallory
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kirkby Mallory. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
