Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Shower tray repair in Flax Bourton, 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 explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chipped corners or rims and scratches from cleaning or grit.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Flax Bourton
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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 it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place

Signs you need shower tray repair in Flax Bourton
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Common questions in Flax Bourton
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
