We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s a crack across the base and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic

Repairing versus replacing in Row Heath

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What affects the price in Row Heath

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Row Heath, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we’re called out for in Row Heath

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
