Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What we are called out for in Lidlington

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
