Signs you need shower tray repair in Clifton
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the edges
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clifton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Clifton
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

Clifton questions
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
