Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Faverdale: your questions answered
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
