Shower tray repair in Lee Mill, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work, we can typically put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we are called out for in Lee Mill
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common questions in Lee Mill
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Lee Mill included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

- Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Lee Mill. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lee Mill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
