How we handle shower tray repair in Leighton
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What else we do in Leighton
Repairing versus replacing in Leighton
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What affects the price in Leighton
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Leighton, and we will reply with a fixed price.
