Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
About our shower tray repair in Grubb Street
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Grubb Street as everywhere else we work.

FAQs for Grubb Street
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you need shower tray repair in Grubb Street?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, 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 early repairs help.
Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
