Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Brackenlands: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

Work for landlords and builders

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.

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.
