Shower tray repair in St John Street area, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
St John Street area: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
