Shower tray repair in Little Cawthorpe without replacing anything
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 repair lasts. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Little Cawthorpe and across Lincolnshire.

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 it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Little Cawthorpe
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Landlord and trade work in Little Cawthorpe
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LN11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
