Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
FAQs for Furnace
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How it 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 let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry

When to call us in Furnace
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips on the edges
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
