Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

Your questions about shower tray repair in Fordington
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
