When to call us in Ragdale

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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