Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

FAQs for Redford
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?

Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Redford
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically 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 ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EH13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Redford?
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Redford. The price depends on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
