Shower tray repair at your home in Lockington
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and edge chips from dropped bottles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lockington
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
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 may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we are called out for in Lockington

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lockington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
