What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Ecton

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A damaged area around the waste

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Common questions in Ecton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Northamptonshire.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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 you fix a cracked tray?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Do you come to Ecton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ecton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
