Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Questions from Larkbeare
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you cover Larkbeare?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Larkbeare from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
