Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Shower tray repair at your home in Aberarth

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Can I fix it myself?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Questions from Aberarth

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
