Shower tray repair in Bolnhurst, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bolnhurst as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Bolnhurst
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bolnhurst. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Bolnhurst, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
