Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- 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 can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Rackenford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our prices page.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
