We travel to Lauriston for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Shower tray repair at your home in Lauriston
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price

Lauriston: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens next?

Do the materials smell?

What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
