Shower tray repair in Benslow without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and damage around the waste, we can normally put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Benslow, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Benslow
For anyone letting property in or around Benslow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Common questions in Benslow
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to Benslow?
We do. We send a technician to Benslow for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What else we do in Benslow
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common problems we fix in Benslow
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Comparing quotes

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
