The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we handle shower tray repair in Holywood

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and scuffs and light scratches, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Holywood, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Holywood

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions from Holywood

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Holywood.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
