Shower tray repair in Lawford, done in place
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. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lawford
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lawford?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover Lawford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lawford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we’re called out for in Lawford
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Movement when you stand on it
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Other services in Lawford
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
