DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 frequently lifts.
Questions from Bilton in Ainsty
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
When can I use the shower again?
Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What we are called out for in Bilton in Ainsty

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
