Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Shower tray repair at your home in Lydgate
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Advice
Repair or replace in Lydgate?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Lydgate
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
FAQs for Lydgate
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
