DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Shower tray repair in Sproxton without replacing anything

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Sproxton: your questions answered

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Sproxton.

Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?

The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Repairing versus replacing in Sproxton

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Common problems we fix in Sproxton

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
