We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common problems we fix in Shimpling Street
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
