- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hartshorne
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Hartshorne?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hartshorne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
