In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Westminster as everywhere else we work.

Westminster: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
