Common questions in Lakenham
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lakenham
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lakenham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Lakenham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What else we do in Lakenham
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
