About our shower tray repair in Bartlow
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and damage around the waste, we can usually put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Landlord and trade work in Bartlow

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What we’re called out for in Bartlow
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Look out for any of the following:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
Before booking anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
