Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dovenby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
