Shower tray repair in West Lilling without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Questions from West Lilling
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Lilling. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for West Lilling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in West Lilling, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
