How we handle shower tray repair in North Common
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and staining and dullness across the tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in North Common
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in North Common, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
