Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Check the seal every few months
- Get a moving tray checked
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
How we handle shower tray repair in Skippers Hill
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base, in stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Skippers Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Skippers Hill
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

- A damaged area around the waste

Skippers Hill: your questions answered
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. 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.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
