Shower tray repair at your home in Lower Vagg
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and a cracked shower tray.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repairing versus replacing in Lower Vagg
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower Vagg. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Common questions in Lower Vagg
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What else we do in Lower Vagg
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
