Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Repairing versus replacing in Staveley
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Staveley
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Staveley questions
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
