Common questions in The Bank
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Are there extra charges for The Bank?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Shower tray repair in The Bank, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base, across acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we’re called out for in The Bank
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
