How we handle shower tray repair in Layer-de-la-Haye
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What we are called out for in Layer-de-la-Haye

What affects the price in Layer-de-la-Haye
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CO2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
