About our shower tray repair in Ingestre
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims, we can help, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Ingestre
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Ingestre?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What else we do in Ingestre
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Ingestre
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scuffs and light scratches
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
