Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Briar Hill, Northamptonshire
Damaged shower tray in Briar Hill? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Shower tray repair in Briar Hill, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Briar Hill questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you cover Briar Hill?
We do. We send a technician to Briar Hill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
