When to call us in St Nicholas
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chipped corners or rims
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
Shower tray repair in St Nicholas, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and a crack across the base, across enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in St Nicholas
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Nicholas as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
