Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What affects the price in Bircholt Forstal
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

When can you do it?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
