What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lanjeth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Lanjeth and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in Lanjeth
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What to look for in a quote

What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

DIY kit or professional repair?
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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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 relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Questions from Lanjeth
Do you work in Lanjeth?
We do. We send a technician to Lanjeth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
