Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Common problems we fix in Bourne End
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A dull, stained or worn surface
