FAQs for Ruthven
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Shower tray repair in Ruthven, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We’re frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, in enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Ruthven
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches

Should you replace it?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
