How we handle shower tray repair in Larton
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common questions in Larton
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Larton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Larton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Larton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Larton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
