How we handle shower tray repair in Lye Cross
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and scuffs and light scratches.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Lye Cross

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover Lye Cross?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lye Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Lye Cross?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Lye Cross
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
