Shower Tray Repair for Luton homes
Shower tray repair across Luton and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A damaged area around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Luton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Shower tray repair in Luton, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Luton
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Luton. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Luton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Luton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
