Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newport and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 often lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Do you need shower tray repair in Bulmore?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
