Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Do you need shower tray repair in Earls Colne?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the edges
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What else we do in Earls Colne
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
