Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Do you need shower tray repair in Cauldwell?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Common reasons people in Cauldwell contact us include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
