Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Common questions in Broomfield
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Broomfield included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the next day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Broomfield?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Broomfield and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broomfield as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
