Advice
Shower tray repair in Maxton without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Maxton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Maxton
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Maxton: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, normally the following day.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Landlord and trade work in Maxton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
