  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Washbrook Street

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Washbrook Street. The price comes down to:

  • The material

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Common problems we fix in Washbrook Street

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Can you resurface a whole tray?

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
