Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Wansford
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
The whole UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wansford. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
