How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Allesley Green: your questions answered
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Allesley Green. Prices do not change with location.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When to call us in Allesley Green
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
