Shower tray repair at your home in Uppingham
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scuffs and light scratches, in cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace in Uppingham?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Uppingham
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.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Uppingham?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover Uppingham?
We do. We send a technician to Uppingham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
