Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Questions from Alswear
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
