Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 normally the cheaper route.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repairing versus replacing in Raithby
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Raithby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
