Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray.

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Places near Great Holland
What else we do in Great Holland
Landlord and trade work in Great Holland
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.
For anyone letting property in or around Great Holland, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repairs by material
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. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
