Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Shower tray repair in Downend without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Typical jobs include scratches from cleaning or grit and chipped corners or rims, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common questions in Downend
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you resurface a whole tray?

Do you need shower tray repair in Downend?

- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
