Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What else we do in Tarvin
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tarvin, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Tarvin
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit

Tarvin: your questions answered
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tarvin.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the next day.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Common problems we fix in Tarvin
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
