About our shower tray repair in Lane Ends
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage from a refit or building work.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repairing versus replacing in Lane Ends
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Common questions in Lane Ends
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you cover Lane Ends?
We do. We send a technician to Lane Ends for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CW1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
