Shower tray repair at your home in Idridgehay
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 is the case. We are frequently asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and staining and dullness across the tray, across cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Idridgehay
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need shower tray repair in Idridgehay?
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.
Common reasons people in Idridgehay contact us include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges
Before you book anyone
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Idridgehay
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

FAQs for Idridgehay
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Idridgehay?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
