DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we handle shower tray repair in Bidborough
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Bidborough
Do I need to be at home?

Everywhere in the UK, Bidborough included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bidborough
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Bidborough
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A crack across the base
- Chips caused during fitting
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
