About our shower tray repair in Little Houghton
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. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Questions from Little Houghton
Do you cover Little Houghton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Little Houghton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Little Houghton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What we’re called out for in Little Houghton
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Little Houghton?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
