What else we do in Elston
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When to call us in Elston
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting

Elston questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Elston.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
