Shower tray repair in Lake without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray, we can normally put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, 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.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lake. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lake. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Lake get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from Lake
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the whole of Isle of Wight?
Everywhere in the UK, Lake included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
