Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need shower tray repair in Waterham?
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Cracks running from the waste

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Waterham: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. 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.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
