How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Landlord and trade work in Layston
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Layston questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Layston. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Layston, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
