Shower tray repair at your home in Swingbrow

We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and movement when you stand on it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
FAQs for Swingbrow
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swingbrow as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
