Shower tray repair in Clothall, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it, on acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Questions from Clothall
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Are there extra charges for Clothall?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
When to call us in Clothall
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
