Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
When to call us in The Lymes
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste

The Lymes questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you come to The Lymes?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to The Lymes for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in The Lymes?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What affects the price in The Lymes
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
We do not add 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.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
