Repair or replace in Orton?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start 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.

Shower tray repair in Orton, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are staining and dullness across the tray and chipped corners or rims.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Do you need shower tray repair in Orton?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin

Your questions about shower tray repair in Orton
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Orton
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
