Shower tray repair in Leicester without replacing anything
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Leicester
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Do you need shower tray repair in Leicester?
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.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
Questions to ask before you book
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Leicester, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What affects the price in Leicester
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
