Shower tray repair in Lady without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What affects the price in Lady
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lady. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lady. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Lady, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What else we do in Lady
Work for landlords and builders
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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common questions in Lady
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lady?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
