Questions from Cavendish Bridge
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Materials we repair

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
