Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Papworth Everard: your questions answered
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Papworth Everard?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
