How we handle shower tray repair in Skillington
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Skillington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
You do not 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 will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When to call us in Skillington
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Skillington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Skillington
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
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.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Skillington?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
