Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Questions from Penny Bridge

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the following day.

Do you cover Penny Bridge?

We do. We send a technician to Penny Bridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Do you need shower tray repair in Penny Bridge?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
