Shower tray repair in Rucklers Lane without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chips on the edges.
For a rural address like Rucklers Lane, tell us about access and parking, and we will plan the visit around it.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we are called out for in Rucklers Lane
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
Landlords with property near Apsley station (about 0.6 miles north) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Rucklers Lane
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. In an older home in a village like Rucklers Lane, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts.

For a rural address like Rucklers Lane, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there is no second trip.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Questions from Rucklers Lane
Do you work for landlords with property near Apsley station?

Will you travel to Rucklers Lane?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What else we do in Rucklers Lane
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
