Common questions in Cratfield
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What else we do in Cratfield
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Cratfield
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

- A picture taken from further back
