Landlords, agents and businesses in Candlesby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Shower tray repair in Candlesby, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste, across cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
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.
Candlesby: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PE23 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
