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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Littleworth
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Littleworth get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Common questions in Littleworth
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Littleworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Littleworth. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you need shower tray repair in Littleworth?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
