Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Freeland

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Common questions in Freeland

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

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.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

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.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When to call us in Freeland

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that flexes

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairing versus replacing in Freeland

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
