Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
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.
Borrowash questions
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Borrowash included. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Common problems we fix in Borrowash
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
