How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
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.
Shower tray repair at your home in Lyness
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are movement when you stand on it and damage from a refit or building work.

When to call us in Lyness
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Lyness
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lyness
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KW16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Lyness: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
