About our shower tray repair in Sandling
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste, we can help.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Sandling

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sandling, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Sandling
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
