Shower tray repair in Lawford without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
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 are 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.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lawford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
