How we handle shower tray repair in Candle Street
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Candle Street, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Common questions in Candle Street
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
