We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eggleston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Shower tray repair in Eggleston, done in place
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 will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Eggleston as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
When to call us in Eggleston
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
