Shower tray repair in The Heath without replacing anything
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a crack across the base and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Every job is backed for twelve months in The Heath and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from The Heath
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for The Heath?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What we’re called out for in The Heath
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price

What else we do in The Heath
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
