Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
About our shower tray repair in Alkham
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Alkham, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colour-matched on site
- Work done at your home or business

Do you need shower tray repair in Alkham?
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
