- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Spilsby
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE23 postcode.
Do you come to Spilsby?
We do. Technicians travel to Spilsby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Landlord and trade work in Spilsby
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in Spilsby
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
