How we handle shower tray repair in Braiswick
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches in the surface and movement when you stand on it.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Braiswick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Braiswick, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
FAQs for Braiswick
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Braiswick.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Braiswick
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
