Shower tray repair at your home in Runfold
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What else we do in Runfold
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Runfold, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Common problems we fix in Runfold
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work

Runfold questions
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Luton?
The whole UK, including all of Luton. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
