For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Swineshead Bridge questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Swineshead Bridge. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Swineshead Bridge get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
