Repair or replace: which is better?

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Brunswick
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
