Repair or replace in Preston-under-Scar?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Preston-under-Scar
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When to call us in Preston-under-Scar
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
