DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work 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. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Common problems we fix in Chiddingly

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
