About our shower tray repair in Lanivet
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Lanivet
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Lanivet
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What affects the price in Lanivet
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lanivet use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
