How we handle shower tray repair in Handley
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can generally put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Handley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Handley
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Handley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What else we do in Handley
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
When to call us in Handley
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Handley. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
