DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Shower tray repair in Laxdale, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips on the edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Laxdale
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
Landlord and trade work in Laxdale
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
