Your questions about shower tray repair in Shelthorpe
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you come to Shelthorpe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shelthorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Shelthorpe
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
