Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Landlord and trade work in Saltby
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Saltby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Saltby
Do you work in Saltby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Saltby. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
