Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How we handle shower tray repair in Butler's Hill
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

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, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
