DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Common problems we fix in Tycroes
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Tycroes questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlord and trade work in Tycroes

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What affects the price in Tycroes
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
