When a repair is not the answer

- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Polebrook. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- 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 whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
