Questions from Shiney Row
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Shiney Row?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Shower tray repair at your home in Shiney Row
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. We are often asked to fix scratches in the surface and chips or cracks by the plughole, in enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shiney Row. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Shiney Row
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
