Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Swannington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Questions from New Swannington
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Leicestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
How quickly can you book me in?

Can landlords book you?
