Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin

Landlord and trade work in Almshouse Green
If you manage property in Almshouse Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Do you need shower tray repair in Almshouse Green?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A crack across the base
