DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

What affects the price in Bradworthy

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Landlord and trade work in Bradworthy

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
