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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Bromford: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bromford.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When to call us in Bromford
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Bromford and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Bromford, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
