Your questions about shower tray repair in Lower Horsebridge
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Shower tray repair in Lower Horsebridge without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and edge chips from dropped bottles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lower Horsebridge as everywhere else we work.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Common problems we fix in Lower Horsebridge
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage from a refit or building work

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
