Shower tray repair in Elford, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
In a village like Elford, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

- Acrylic

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re 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. Somewhere like Elford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Advice
Repair or replace in Elford?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. For a rural home like those around Elford, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while shower tray repair is one trip.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Elford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Elford
I let a flat near Lichfield Trent Valley station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly.
Do you cover villages like Elford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
