Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Shelton Lock: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Shelton Lock
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
