What we’re called out for in Upper Lyde
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 usually come from dropped bottles.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
Shower tray repair in Upper Lyde without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repairing versus replacing in Upper Lyde
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start 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.

Upper Lyde: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Upper Lyde included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Upper Lyde?
We do. We send a technician to Upper Lyde for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
