Bachelor's Bump: your questions answered

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in Bachelor's Bump?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bachelor's Bump and the rest of East Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we work on in Bachelor's Bump

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered 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.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bachelor's Bump

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How to get a fixed price
