Shower Tray Repair for Larches homes
We travel to Larches for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our shower tray repair in Larches
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and scratches in the surface, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Larches
How much does shower tray repair cost in Larches?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Larches
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What else we do in Larches
When to call us in Larches
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace in Larches?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
