Shower tray repair in Sandwick without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches in the surface, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sandwick
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sandwick.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Sandwick
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Most clients in Sandwick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandwick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Sandwick
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
