Shower tray repair in Littletown without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Littletown and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Materials we work on in Littletown
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
FAQs for Littletown
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
