DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we handle shower tray repair in Lynsore Bottom
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and chipped corners or rims.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Questions from Lynsore Bottom
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Honest limits

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
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.
What we are called out for in Lynsore Bottom
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected
