DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Lode: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Lode?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What affects the price in Lode
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Lode get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Repairing versus replacing in Lode
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
