Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Shower tray repair in Alder Hills, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a cracked shower tray, we can typically put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry

Landlord and trade work in Alder Hills
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alder Hills use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
