When to call us in Dinnington
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dinnington
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Dinnington
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Dinnington?
We do. We send a technician to Dinnington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

What else we do in Dinnington
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Dinnington
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
