Common questions in Basford
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Basford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Basford and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Shropshire.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landmarks near Basford
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Church of St Michael and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Broome station, roughly 2.8 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Land of Lost Content (3.1 miles south-east) and Edgton Ring-Motte (less than half a mile north-west). The countryside around Basford includes Burrow.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Basford, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
