Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Kirkby Overblow
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
