Shower tray repair in Ratby without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and scratches in the surface.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ratby and across Leicestershire.

FAQs for Ratby
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Ratby?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?

Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

What affects the price in Ratby
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ratby. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Ratby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
