When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What affects the price in Maiden Law
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Common questions in Maiden Law
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you work in Maiden Law?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Maiden Law. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Maiden Law
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Maiden Law, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Maiden Law
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A crack across the base

Repairing versus replacing in Maiden Law
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
