Your questions about shower tray repair in Limbury
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Limbury?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LU3 postcode.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How we handle shower tray repair in Limbury
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Limbury
The tray is normally 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What we’re called out for in Limbury
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
