DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you are 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.
Shower tray repair in Sopwell, done in place
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. Whether it’s edge chips from dropped bottles and damage from a refit or building work, we can typically put it right.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sopwell, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Repair or replace in Sopwell?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Sopwell questions
Do you cover Sopwell?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Sopwell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Sopwell?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AL1 postcode.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
