DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
About our shower tray repair in Lamarsh
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are often asked to fix a tray that flexes and chipped corners or rims, in stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What we can’t put right

- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lamarsh
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lamarsh as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Lamarsh
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
