Landlords, agents and businesses in Trethomas
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we handle shower tray repair in Trethomas
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and damage around the waste, we can generally put it right, on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Trethomas
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Should you replace it?
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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
