When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
FAQs for Cross Lanes
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross Lanes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What affects the price in Cross Lanes
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cross Lanes. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match

- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
