How we handle shower tray repair in Lidsing
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Questions from Lidsing
Do you hold any accreditations?

Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?

How long before I can shower?
Normally the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
What we are called out for in Lidsing
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface 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 photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
