What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Tolgus
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
FAQs for West Tolgus
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in West Tolgus?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to West Tolgus for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in West Tolgus?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
