Shower tray repair in Oldwich Lane, done in place
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oldwich Lane
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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we’re called out for in Oldwich Lane
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray

Questions from Oldwich Lane
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Oldwich Lane is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

- Access to the area

- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
