How we handle shower tray repair in Low Eighton
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need shower tray repair in Low Eighton?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Low Eighton questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Repair or replace in Low Eighton?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
