What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- 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, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Common questions in Waterside
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Waterside?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Waterside. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
