Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Putnoe

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Putnoe

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Putnoe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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 few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Putnoe

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
