What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swinton
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swinton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Common questions in Swinton
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Swinton. Prices do not change with location.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work in Swinton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Swinton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Do you need shower tray repair in Swinton?
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
