Shower tray repair in Tin Town, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. We are often asked to fix staining and dullness across the tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
In and around Tin Town, walk-in showers and shower rooms are common in bungalows. If the tray is firm, any crack or chip can be repaired in place.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Tin Town
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
Facilities teams at buildings such as Ramridge Primary School can book us for changing-room showers too.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up. Visits around Tin Town are generally simple: we park, protect the room and get started, after agreeing the plan with you.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos 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?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. In a smaller place like Tin Town, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.
Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Tin Town: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Luton station?
Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price.
Do you take on commercial work in Tin Town?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Send photos and details of the building.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
