Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
FAQs for Washingborough
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover Washingborough?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Washingborough for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairing versus replacing in Washingborough
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
