What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
When to call us in Bayswater
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Bayswater
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Bayswater, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
