How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we’re called out for in Putteridge
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Putteridge: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Putteridge?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Luton?
We cover the entire UK, including Putteridge and the rest of Luton. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Putteridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
