Shower tray repair in Patcham without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We’re often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and damage from a refit or building work, in cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

When to call us in Patcham
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Are there extra charges for Patcham?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
