Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 usually cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

What we’re called out for in Edney Common

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, usually along the edges or by the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Store bottles off the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
