Shower tray repair at your home in Doxford Park
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and a dull, stained or worn surface, across cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Advice
Common questions in Doxford Park
Do you cover Doxford Park?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Doxford Park from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
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.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
