Landlord and trade work in Radwinter
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Shower tray repair in Radwinter, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Radwinter
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Radwinter?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Radwinter. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we cannot put right

- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Radwinter
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

What else we do in Radwinter
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
