Shower tray repair at your home in Merry Lees
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What else we do in Merry Lees
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Merry Lees
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Merry Lees, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
