About our shower tray repair in Littlethorpe

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, across enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Littlethorpe: your questions answered

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Landlord and trade work in Littlethorpe

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Most customers in Littlethorpe get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need shower tray repair in Littlethorpe?

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
