About our shower tray repair in Calder Bridge
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We are often asked to fix a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole, in ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Calder Bridge: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What we are called out for in Calder Bridge
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A tray that flexes
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chipped corners or rims

Landlord and trade work in Calder Bridge
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
