How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we handle shower tray repair in Medbourne
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with damage around the waste and cracks running from the waste, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Medbourne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Medbourne
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Medbourne. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Medbourne
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
