Shower tray repair in Lee Chapel without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lee Chapel and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- 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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can tenants book a repair?

Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
