If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Caldecote
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What affects the price in Caldecote
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Caldecote
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
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, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
