Questions from Muirhead
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you come to Muirhead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Muirhead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Muirhead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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 trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
