How we handle shower tray repair in Riggend
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, we can usually put it right, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Riggend
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Landlord and trade work in Riggend
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Do you need shower tray repair in Riggend?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
