About our shower tray repair in Smockington
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We are often asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste, in cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 usually the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Smockington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Questions from Smockington
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE10 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
