Shower tray repair in Galleywood, done in place
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common questions in Galleywood
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
