Your questions about shower tray repair in Lancaster
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you come to Lancaster?
We do. Technicians travel to Lancaster from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Lancaster
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Landlord and trade work in Lancaster
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
