If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What affects the price in Ladock

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

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. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Questions from Ladock

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
