What you get with us

- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Old Basford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Do you work in Old Basford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Old Basford and the rest of Nottingham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
