How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitchurch

If you manage property in Whitchurch, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Questions from Whitchurch

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

What we’re called out for in Whitchurch

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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