What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Irlams o' th' Height, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
