Common questions in Eastington
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.
How we handle shower tray repair in Eastington
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
