Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Common problems we fix in Leigham
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Leigham questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
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. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leigham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
