How we handle shower tray repair in Old Grimsby
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Old Grimsby: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Old Grimsby?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your TR24 postcode.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common problems we fix in Old Grimsby

People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- Chipped corners or rims

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
