Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Shower tray repair in Raughton Head, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can normally put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Raughton Head
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Raughton Head.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
