How we handle shower tray repair in Lightburn
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit, in cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lightburn and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Lightburn
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common problems we fix in Lightburn
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before booking anyone

- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lightburn. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lightburn
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
