Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit.

Shower tray repair at your home in Lakes End
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Lakes End
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
