Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

When to call us in Locksbottom
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Cracks running from the waste

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Locksbottom
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Are there extra charges for Locksbottom?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
