About our shower tray repair in St Luke's
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise 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.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Luke's
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in St Luke's, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Common questions in St Luke's
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you work in St Luke's?
We do. Repair technicians travel to St Luke's from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
