DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KW3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
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, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Common questions in Lybster
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Are there extra charges for Lybster?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
