How we handle shower tray repair in Launton
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Launton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
