What we’re called out for in Lightwater
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lightwater. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
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 get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Lightwater
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Surrey.
Do you work in Lightwater?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lightwater and the rest of Surrey. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Lightwater and nearby
Lightwater is about 3 miles east of Camberley, in Surrey. From the centre of Lightwater to the outlying streets, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Lightwater is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work. We work right across the region, from Lightwater to London (27 miles away).
We cover every part of GU18 and GU19 and the streets around it. You’ll find streets such as Ambleside Road, Ridgeway Close and Shrublands Drive, and we cover them all. Other places close to Lightwater include Donkey Town (1 mile south-east), Bagshot (1 mile north-west), Windlesham (1 mile north-east), Lucas Green (2 miles south-east) and West End (2 miles south-east).

Around Lightwater
Typical jobs here are in homes near Hammond School, Brentmoor Heath and All Saints, among other places. The nearest railway station is Bagshot station, roughly 1.3 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Brookwood Hospital (3.3 miles south-east) and The Museum of The National Rifle Association (2.7 miles south). Open spaces near Lightwater include Brookwood Lye.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Lightwater
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should you replace it?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
