Questions from Lavister
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Lavister?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lavister. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Lavister?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Lavister
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A cracked shower tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that flexes

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
