Shower tray repair in Capel without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Capel use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Capel
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
