How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use

- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Farther Howegreen questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
